That's the second time today I've seen that old pic of your car on the black rims. I keep telling myself I'll get white, then I see yours and those black wheels look menacing. Ooh damn. emoji

I have the black but mine have a polished lip so they stand out more. If you get black or gunmetal rims a polished lip is the way to go.

Here's a pic (don't mind the dent emoji )

Whit would look good, but make sure you get good rims... My friend had white rims on a white car, looked hot till the rims faded to a creamish yellow color. I love the black rims with crome lip, that would loo sick with the carbon hood

When they are clean white rims look sweet but it gets old cleaning them every other day so I wish I had bronze/gold rims real bad. Black would look nice to especially w/ a cf hood. Get a polished lip to. I get a lot of compliments on the white on white so if you like cleaning rims then go for it.

The main reason I painted my white rims black was the whole keeping them clean part. Two of my rims started looking off white and I had to constantly clean them. Once I painted them black, I couldn't see any dirt on them.

Did you paint your rims black yourself or did someone else do them? Im tempted to paint my rims black cause I have had them for about 2 1/2 years and they are such a paint to clean. Plus I got those rims in my "rice" years so I wouldn't mind getting rid of the "Fireball" sticker also. Thanks

EDIT: Chrsyler... what are those rims called and how much are they for 17's and 18's w/ tires? thanks

*cough* chrome.

When does Chrome NOT look awesome?

Otherwise I would get white ones, and motegi mr7's at that. If they start looking like shit just use Bug and Tar remover to clean them. That is what my friend did, and he has had his for almost a year and they look flawless. And you can always touch them up with paint.

I have always had a problem with black just because it makes it so difficult to see. People spend so much money on black paintjobs and other black parts, and all it does is make it so u can't even tell wtf it is coming down the road.

I painted them myself with some cheap walmart spray paint. I just gave them a quick scuff w/some steel wool, cleaned them, then started painting. I put about 8 coats on each rim, then cleared with about the same amount. They lasted for well over a year and a half before I had to touch up a tiny portion.
